I will be posting pics/videos on an external site when i get the chance, and i appologize for a not so detailed report.

 

We arrived at around 11, it was 2 teens with Bob Marley shirts on and myself in my old school thrill list shirt from KI that i turned into a cut off. Arrived at the parking gates, and that was sort of a cluster. No lines, and the signs for the lanes were rather difficult to read for us.After we went through the parking gates, we found a great parking space despite the time we arrived (got preferred parking as always). Went through security, wasnt that big of a deal. Grabbed our Fun Pix, and Fast Lane Plus's. Went straight to Diamondback. Usually start of with Adventure Express, today was not the case. Great ride as always, one of my favorite coasters despite some thinking it isnt that great. Found a good route for the coasters that we like riding the most: Diamondback>The Beast>Flight of Fear>Banshee. The park really wasnt that busy. The two i took with me got yelled at for hoping the rail for Vortex, i warned them not to do that. Here comes a guard to give them a warning. We ended up going out to the car, cause one of them had a headache. I gave them some Ibuprofen. When we went back in, security told them they had to turn their shirts inside out. They were pretty mad about that, said they werent going to, as soon as we got back in the park. I told them if i were you i would. Passed the restrooms. Here comes KI police, telling them that they were told once, so go do it. They were even more mad. I can kind of see why they would be, but then again, some of the things people wore there were worse than shirts having marijuana leaves on them IMO. Wanted to eat at RHOFG. 35min wait. No thank you. Went to the hot dog stand near Diamondback, and They said they had no food. Who runs at hot dog stand and says they have no food? Left, checked some more prices. Went back. I asked them if they had food now. They told me that they had italian sausages. I said, thatll work. I asked them if i could get them for the same price as the hot dogs, they said that they were actually cheaper. Paid 8 bucks per one, they gave me no chips or drinks. Went back a little later after i cooled off a little, and complained, there was a supervisor there this time, they gave me the chips and drinks.Had some great rides on each ride we took. Was kind of bummed when we couldnt get pics on Flight of Fear or Firehawk now.

 

Diamondback-6 Great rides each time. Finally got a night ride.

Vortex 1-Still rough, with absolutely no leg room

WindSeeker-1 You notice alot of stuff lying around the park behind fences and what not.

Flight of Fear-3 Seems like it is alot more lit up inside

Delirium- Never realized it went almost as fast as Diamondback til this visit

Red Racer-1 Pretty good airtime

Blue Racer-1 Started raining a little, that stung a bit

Invertigo-1 Still dont realize why people think it will leave soon.

Banshee-3 First time, sat in front, and was disappointed the cameras werent working correctly so couldnt get a pic

The Bat-1 Still not worth the walk back there.

Firehawk-1 Can never get used to the blood rush to the head while lying down

The Beast-3 Never gets old, especially after the last lift hill.Finally got a ride at night.

Adventure Express-1 Seemed shorter than normal, and hardly any sound.

Backlot Stunt Coaster-1 Enjoyed it, but was painful after the first turn, made my head go to the left and back, surprised no whiplash

Flying Ace Aerial Chase-1 Just had to ride it for fun, its not too bad, but seems kind of rough for older people.

Woodstock Gliders- 1 You dont have to have a kid with you to ride it, or at least didnt this time. Not sure if i successfully snapped, but i did enjoy it.

Drop Tower-1 That drop gets me every time.

Eiffel Tower-1 Finally seen fireworks from the tower, and probably will never again. Was a huge cluster up and down.

 

Overall was a great time despite the teens being teens, and the hot dog stand issues. When I get the pictures up,  have a couple questions and comments. I'm a bit delayed on my trip reports, so going to finally do my report of Pine Lake. Hope you all enjoyed the report.

The footers under The Bat were for the old queue back when it was named Top Gun. The queue wrapped around the lower part of the station where there were displays with Top Gun stuff in them. You can see a picnic table where the queue used to go. That's right, The Bats queue used to be even longer. :P

 

 

Edit: the Son of Beast grave has days where it is lit and days where it isn't. Not a yearly thing.
